(FOX NEWS) – Minnesota lawmakers are considering a bill that would establish the state as a “trans refuge” for children who are seeking transgender medical procedures but who may be blocked by laws in other states.
The legislation, HF146, was introduced by Rep. Leigh Finke of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. HF146 “would make Minnesota into a trans refuge state by protecting trans people, their families and medical practitioners from the legal repercussions of traveling to Minnesota to receive gender-affirming care,” Finke said.

“This need is desperate in my community. This is not a hypothetical scenario,” Finke said of the bill. “There are gender-diverse people in Minnesota right now receiving gender-affirming care. More are fleeing their home states asking where they should turn.”
